I don't know why people are so terrified of politics.

I’ll venture a guess. Mainstream politics (in America at least) has become something of a spectator sport that leads to unproductive, irritating, and dysfunctionally polarizing behavior.

It is absolutely not part of HN's charter to make US politics (or the politics of any country!) better. That's a project worth undertaking, but there are better places for it.

It isn't a part of HN's charter, but certainly the attitude "politics must be avoided" is not good.
